Jennifer Lopez reveals official date of Ben Affleck separation in divorce filing after months of speculation

Jennifer Lopez listed her and Ben Affleck’s date of separation as April 26, 2024 when she filed for divorce on Tuesday, Page Six can confirm.

She filed pro per, meaning by herself and without an attorney, on the second anniversary of their picturesque Georgia wedding ceremony they held after eloping in Las Vegas in July 2022.

Page Six learned earlier this summer that their marriage was over in March.

Although they had been spotted out and about together a handful of times that month, they noticeably drifted apart in April.

Rumors started swirling about their separation in May after it became obvious they stopped seeing each other publicly.

For instance, Lopez, 55, walked the red carpet for the 2024 Met Gala solo, despite being one of its co-chairs.

Affleck, 52, also let her attend the Los Angeles and Mexico premieres of her new movie, “Atlas,” alone.

That same month, an insider told Page Six Affleck was ready for their marriage to be over.

“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would,” they shared. “He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”

As spring gave way to summer, it became more evident the couple was spending no time together as the “On the Floor” hitmaker indulged in a European girls’ trip and then spent much of her time in New York.

Meanwhile, the “Argo” star remained on the West Coast and focused on work after he moved out of their massive marital mansion — which has been sitting on the market since July.

The pair also spent Lopez’s July birthday apart. However, she was seen visiting her husband’s rental home in Brentwood, Calif. on his birthday.

She declined to wish him a happy birthday on social media, though, and instead posted throwback selfies of herself.

The “Marry Me” star did not reveal if she and Affleck had a prenup in her divorce filing, though TMZ reported they did not.

She waived spousal support and asked the judge to deny Affleck support, too.

The couple had no children together, but had a combined total of five from their previous marriages.

A source exclusively told Page Six Tuesday that their children feel “ready to move on.”

Lopez shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
